      Wow. Awful.

      I suspect that many women would rather not save the marriage if the price is subservience.

      If tings were the other way around, I bloody wouldn't.

          you haven't yet?

          The Surrendered Wife, which tells women to stop nagging their partners and start treating them with more respect.

          The six principles of being a 'Surrendered Wife'
          Relinquishes inappropriate control of her husband
          Respects her husband's thinking
          Receives his gifts graciously and expresses gratitude for him
          Expresses what she wants without trying to control him
          Relies on him to handle household finances
          Focuses on her own self-care and fulfilment

          so treats the husband as a valued equal. Apart from the household finance bit seems fine to me if you replaced husband & gender specific words with spouse it would be pretty much what the vicar said to us before we got married.

          Not surrender, more stepping up to the plate.

          Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

            what respect your wife's opinion, thank her and not try to control her? hmmm.

            Regularly remind Mrs V she is pushing the boundaries, some tears and then back to normal. She makes the same complaints of me, I man up & change. Why should men or women take disrespect?

              Doesn't it make your eyes go a bit puffy?

                Really when you read the article it is not about surrendering it is about treating your husband as an equal.

                Its just not even a thing.
